Identification of acoustic parameters for broiler welfare estimate [PDF]

Engenharia Agrícola, 2014
Estimates of broiler welfare have subjective character. Nowadays, researchers seek non-invasive features or indicators that may describe this condition in animal production.

Vocal contagion of emotions in non-human animals [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018
Communicating emotions to conspecifics (emotion expression) allows the regulation of social interactions (e.g. approach and avoidance). Moreover, when emotions are transmitted from one individual to the next, leading to state matching (emotional contagion), information transfer and coordination between group members are facilitated.

Model‐Guided Design of Paper Membrane Architectures for Controlled Flow and Enhanced Diagnostic Sensitivity

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Geometrical modifications on nitrocellulose membranes can result in observable differences in signal intensity relative to a reference membrane (top and bottom left). Using two reference experiments, we have developed a theoretical model that can reproduce the experimentally observed flow changes and provide information on membrane parameters, e.g ...

AVES: Animal Vocalization Encoder Based on Self-Supervision

ICASSP 2023 - 2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2023
The lack of annotated training data in bioacoustics hinders the use of large-scale neural network models trained in a supervised way. In order to leverage a large amount of unannotated audio data, we propose AVES (Animal Vocalization Encoder based on Self-Supervision), a self-supervised, transformer-based audio representation model for encoding animal ...

Comparison of the responses of male Japanese treefrog (Dryophytes japonicus) to the rain and advertisement calls

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Anurans communicate with others using several types of calls such as advertisement, encounter, release, and rain calls. Some treefrog species produce rain calls from their daytime shelters, such as trees and bushes, during both the breeding and non ...
